About This Wine
2024 Tiers 1.5M Vineyard Chardonnay stands alongside its older sibling as an equal, with subtle differences induced by its close-spaced French Bernard clones (76 & 95) planted at 1.5m x 1.5m spacing in the Piccadilly Valley.
The 2024 vintage in the Piccadilly Valley was described as “near perfect”, with a heat summation of 1194°C-days (average 1108°C-days). The 21-year-old Tiers 1.5M block yielded 6 tonnes per hectare and was harvested on 15 March, two weeks earlier than average.

Winemaker’s Notes
“The colour is green-yellow. The aroma shows kiwi fruit, nectarine and pear with brioche and cinnamon complexity from yeast and oak. The flavour is intense, fruit ripe and fresh with significant texture. The trademark Tiers texture is offset by acid and grapefruit and quince finishing cut.“
“A cool vintage of a unique wine defined by the truly distinguished Tiers Vineyard terroir.”
— Brian Croser, 04/12/2024
Winemaking
Hand-harvested fruit was chilled to 2°C, whole-bunch pressed and gravitated to French oak barriques (one third new) for fermentation. Fermentation lasted two months in cool autumn conditions. The wine was barrel aged on full lees until October 2024 and bottled in November.
